Claudia Castrase PreFall 2015

Claudia Castrase continues to explore Japanese culture, mixing femininity with pure lines and subtle elegance. The kimono cut is a key feature of the collection, which is infused with an overall feeling of balance, natural simplicity and efortless style. The materials are natural, yet sophisticated – such as silk, taffeta, fine wool, chantung, brocade. Colors are inspired from the ukiyo Japanese silk paintings of the Edo period – with their own distinctive, refined chromatics.
